Oscar Pistorious accidentally shagged a masked man who was wearing a breton shirt and carrying bag marked "swag".

It's well known that if all the cat videos and porn disappeared from the internet there would be only one site left and it would be called whereareallthecatvideosandporn.com

About this story: while I can understand that some man may kill his wife for some obscure reasons, Pistorious actually killed a top model. A TOP MODEL. Who was open minded enough to marry a legless man ... geez, the world is crazy.

They weren't married.
 
He probably told her that his package reached nearly to the ground!

It's interesting that most men think that disabled or disfigured men have a dating disadvantage. Being both able bodied and now currently disabled during my life, I have held that point of view, and now as disabled, have not noticed the issue. The women that I have heard snickers or remarks from have been quite ugly, outwardly and on the inside. If there's one thing good looking women have, it's confidence, and with that confidence comes a 'not giving a sh*t what others think, as I'm already a beautiful woman' attitude. Only ugly women need affirmation from others about the men they date or marry. I have dated girls who have done modeling before, and I'm not marrying a very attractive, funny woman. (I posted her comedy video on CP a long time ago).

was a top model that married a man with a disfigured face.
 
I would say that top models would be more so inclined and "open minded" to date a legless man than the general population of women.

I'm always worried I'll get left for an increasingly disabled man. We saw a comedy show, and the main guy was in a wheelchair, and my fiancee said, "He is a really attractive guy" (he's also a tv star; on Private Practice on US television).
 
Yeah, I'd be worried, able bodied or not.

When I met my beloved, many dear friends were of the opinion that I was hitting above my weight. Mrs Wife is not worried about me being snared by a top model as I already have one; her. Poke tongue | ;-P

So you're saying it's true - top models do fall for men who are frequently legless?

I can't say if top-models fall for men who are frequently or permanent legless, but I bet Heidi Klum without her makeup is much uglier than her ex-husband. She also is anorexic and listen to her speaking! You will be anorexic, too, if you listen to long!

I doubt the truth will ever be known, whatever the judge decides at the end of it all. The South African system seems totally flawed, with the police leaking information all over the place.
 
Only one man knows what actually happened, the authenticity of every bit of evidence has to be in question to some degree or other.

I'm happy not to be the judge in that case. The story he told seems so unreliable to me, I would be prejudiced. When the facts, written in the news, are true, then I can't believe in his innocence although I think it's not got to prejudge anybody. Sniff | :^)

Well, whatever complicated the story behind may be, the fact is that he crushed her head with a cricket bat and shot her with four bullets. He lied about the gun he used, the burglar and the argument they had.
 
He'd definitely have to be very convincing if I had to judge him not guilty.

I'm not sure any of those are facts.
 
It all seems to be rumour and suspicion so far, with no actual evidence, and most of it being presented by a man who got drunk and shot at a minibus full of people.
